Specification of Lettei's. Patent. Appiiqati'on filed May 21,1913. sexier-n50. 768,995.

ratenteuaui 21, was.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE W, MURRAY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Atlantic City, in the county of Atlantic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved GflSrBlOilQI', of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved gas stove, more especially designed for broiling meats and other food products, and 'arran 'edto. subject the meatv to be broiled to the ull upward force of the heat to insure proper broiling, to protect the gas jets from becoming clogged up by drippings from the meat during the broiling ,operation, and to shield the cook from the flare of the gas fiamfes.

Inorder to accomplish the desired result,

use is made of a series of perforate gas pipes arranged on top of the gas stove, and a frame supported on the gas stove and provided with inverted V-shaped hoods extending above the gas jets of the said pipes.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying-drawings forming a part of this specification, in

which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved gas s'tove; Fig. 2-is a transverse section of the same on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the griddle frame, part of the front being broken out Fig. 4a is a cross section of the stove on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1 and showing more par- 'ticularly the sliding connection between the griddle frame and one side bar of the gas stove; Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional front elevationof one side of the griddle frame and its'bearing on one of the side bars of the stove; and Fig. 6 is a perspective View of a modified form of the griddle frame for use when cooking, or heating sad irons andthe like.

A series of transversely-extending gas pipes A are arranged parallel on top of the stove frame B, and the said gas pipes A are.

spaced suitable distances apart and each is provided on top with a row of perforations A (see Figs. 2 and 5) to provide gas jets or burners. The front ends of the gas pipes A are connected with a distributing pipe C arranged in front of the frame B and connected with a service pipe I) by the use of pipes E each having a valve E for controlling the flowof the-gas from the service pipe D into the distributing ipe C. The ends of. the distributing pipe 8 air inlet valves C of the usual construction so that when the valves E are opened a mixture of gas and airpasses into the distributing pipe 0 and from the latter to-the gas pipes A to, provide an infiammahle'mixture to be burned at the openings A;

Over each perforate gas pipe extends a hood F approximately of inverted V shape, the lower edges of the members of each hood being arranged on opposite sides of the corresponding gas pipe A butadjacent hoods .F are spaced from each other, as will be read ily understood by reference to. Figs. 1 and 5. It will be noted that the sides or edges of are provided with the hoods project downward below the top perforated portion of the gas pipes so thatthey protect the flame from sidedraft and thoroughly utilize the heatof the same. The

front and rear ends of thehoods F aresecured to the front and rear bars G, Gr of a frame G having depending side bars G provided at their lower edges with friction rollerS G adapted to travel in the bottoms of grooves B formed in the side barsB of the gas stove frame B. By the arrangement described the griddle frame G with its hoods F can be readily slipped in plaoe'on top of the gas stove so that the hoods F extend. over the gas pipes A as previously explained, and when the gas is lighted the heat produced by the flames is caused to pass up between adja-.

top and consequently the cock is relieved I from the flare of the flames. V q

The frame G supports a drip pan H a distance below the gas pipes A so'that any drippings from the meat are directed downward over the sides of the hoods F into the drip pan H, which latter can be removed from time to time for emptying of the drippings. By reference to 'Fig. 1 it will be noticed that the distributing pipeOis approximately of inverted U-shape so as to provide an open space at the front of the stove for sliding the drip pan H into and out of osition.

The front bar G of the grid e frame G is preferably provided with a handle G to permit the cookto conveniently slide' the; griddle frame in or out of position on the griddle side bars B of the stove frame B.

When it is desired to use the broiler for cooking purposes or-for heating sad irons and the like a cover I Fig. 6 is used instead of the griddle frame G, the cover I bein provided with depending sides I provide with friction rollers I slidingly engaging the bottoms of the grooves B in the side.

bars B It is understood that the cover I extends above the gas pipes A so that the :cover is heated by the gas flames.

Having thus described my. invention, I claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A gas broiler comprising a frame, a series of horizontal parallel gas pipes spaced a art and provided with per orations on t eir upper sides, a griddle arranged above rations on their upper side, a griddle formed of a series of inverted V-shaped hoods each arranged over and parallel to one of said gas pipes and extendm-g down below the top of the perforated'portion of the same, a. frame in which the said hoods arerigidly secured, the sides thereof projecting downward and adapted to slide in the guideways" formed by the grooves of the main frame, as described.

In testimony whereof I have" signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
